Introduction This unit focuses on the occupations of childhood and adolescence in order to facilitate occupational therapy practice in family, education, hospital and community contexts. This unit emphasises family-centred and occupation-centred practice, along with evidence based practice, with the overall aim of enhancing the occupational performance and participation of children and adolescents. Theory and skills learnt in earlier units will be applied to specific case studies that will teach students how to apply the occupational therapy process to working with children and adolescents. Occupational therapists working in the area of paediatrics in Western Australia have provided their expert opinion to inform the content in this unit.

This unit includes learning to observe and assess children and adolescents, interpret and analyse the data gathered and to develop intervention plans and programs using the Canadian Practice Process Framework (Polatajko, Craik, Davis & Townsend, 2005) and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) (WHO, 2002) and the Person‐Environment-Occupation & Performance model (Baum & Christiansen, 2005) or other occupational therapy models. There is an emphasis on consolidation of observation and assessment skills, interpretation and analysis of data, and using theory to develop evidence based intervention programs. This unit requires students to be independent self-directed learners and to think critically, and to appraise and analyse the literature in order to explain their clinical reasoning for the decisions they make in applying their discipline specific knowledge.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.

Curtin's Graduate Attributes

On successful completion of this unit students can:Graduate Attributes addressed

Learning Activities The material in this unit is provided in two formats: lecture, and a seminar (tutorial and laboratory combined). This format provides 4 hours of contact time each week. Students are expected to attend all lectures and seminars and to complete the required preparation so that they can actively participate in all activities. 

Preparation

To participate effectively in this unit and to achieve your learning outcomes a consistent minimum of 6 further hours per week on preparation and assignments is required. Preparation and out of class learning will be based on articles and text readings. Articles will be discussed in seminars and readings will be provided to enable you to fully understand the lecture and seminar content and to help you complete assignments and achieve your learning outcomes. It is expected that when students do not fully understand the key concepts that they ask questions, seek clarification and importantly, use the text and other resources available to support their own learning. Lectures

Please note that the lecture information usually relates directly to the seminar which is on the day after the lecture. Therefore, viewing of the lecture before the seminar is essential, either via attending the lecture in person or viewing ilectured material. Given the nature of the face-to-face lecture hour, not all content will be ilectured. Lectures will contain video and photographs that will not be available on ilectures as they contain children and families who have agreed to their use but not to the retention of the material in recorded form. Recording of lecture or seminar material on personal technology devices is not permitted. Breach of this policy will be considered to be Academic Misconduct and may be reported to a Student Disciplinary Panel.

Seminar (Tutorials and Laboratories)

The tutorials and laboratories are combined as a 3-hour learning seminar. The tutorial will sometimes involve content in addition to the lecture that will be used to prepare for the lab activity and will also focus on journal article discussion and key theoretical concepts using a range of learning activities and technology. It is expected that students will lead discussions and be actively involved in presenting group feedback to the class. The seminars are designed to encourage independent learning and are mostly experiential in nature. You will be expected to come prepared and active participation in all seminar activities is a requirement.

Dress code for seminars: You are required to wear your full fieldwork uniform, name badge, hair tied back, and suitable closed in shows for all labs starting week one. In many laboratories we will be using the equipment such as scooter boards and working on mats on the floor. 

This unit prepares the student for occupational therapy practice and professional behaviour and adherence to the code of ethics is expected, not only when working with children, adolescents and their families, but also with academic staff and other professionals and fellow students. Participation in discussions on Blackboard, communication, behaviour and dress in class and written work is expected to be of a professional standard. Electronic recording in lectures and seminars is not permitted except with Curtin University equipment. Mobile phones are not permitted in any classes. 

Students are expected to attend all laboratories and tutorials. This is in accordance with accreditation requirements in ensuring you meet the course learning outcomes. If you are unable to attend your scheduled seminar please advise the Tutor of your absence. If you fail to attend classes, you cannot expect the Lecturer or Tutor to brief you on what you have missed. Punctuality is expected. It is unprofessional behaviour to arrive late.

Assessment Assessment schedule

Detailed information on assessment tasks

1. Assessment Task 1: 2x In‐‐‐‐class tests (10% each)

The 15 minute in‐class tests will occur in the seminars of Week 4 and Week 6.

Each test will cover any material from the lecture and seminars and readings discussed in class, from the previous weeks. Questions will be short answer or multiple choice. The main purpose of these tests is to highlight key information covered in that time period and they will contribute towards your resources to support your exam preparation. They also provide early feedback about your performance/assessment particularly towards successful achievement of learning outcomes 1 and 2.

Only the approval of a formal Application for Assessment Extension (with appropriate supporting documentation, i.e. medical certificate) will be accepted in event of non‐attendance at the class where these tests were completed. In such an event, students will be allowed to sit the test the within that week. In event of non‐attendance without having been granted a formal approval for extension, a mark of zero will be allocated for the missed test. Both tests must be completed to meet the requirements to pass this unit.

Students are expected to adhere to test conditions as soon as they enter the assessment venue i.e. only items required for test on desk, all phones, books and bags on the floor under desks, and no touching assessment paper until the unit coordinator advises.

2. Assessment Task 2: Written Assignment (40%)

Assignment guidelines and accompanying information will be in the Assessment Folder on Blackboard. Please follow these assignment guidelines carefully. This assignment is a case study, in which you will work through the Canadian Practice Process Framework (CPPF) (Polatajko, Craik, Davis & Townsend, 2007). You will have two in‐class opportunities to view the child on DVD. Please see the Program Calendar for these dates and ensure you attend these seminars, as these will be the only opportunities you will get to view the DVD. Each section has a word limit that must be adhered to. Markers will stop reading once the word limit is reached.

Assignments must be submitted electronically through Turnitin on Blackboard. You will have the opportunity to submit multiple drafts of your work through Turnitin up until the submission time, to check the originality report. Please ensure that you give yourself enough time to upload your final

document to the system. To be fair to all students, any assignment submitted after the due time (even one minute late) will incur a 10% late penalty. Also please make sure that you submit the correct final version of the assignment. If you submit a draft version by mistake that will be the one marked and no further correspondence will be entered into the matter.

Please note: All questions relating to the assignment must be posted on Blackboard. This is to ensure equity and consistency of information across the cohort. In addition, questions about the assignment will be answered up until 4pm on Monday the 8th of May. No questions will be answered about the assignment after this date. This is to ensure that there is no last-minute confusion with any new questions coming up.

3. Assessment Task 3: Examination (40%)

You must receive a minimum of 40% in the exam to pass this unit, as the exam integrates all learning outcomes. This assessment requires that you can demonstrate application of the PEOP model, theoretical knowledge and frames of reference for assessment and intervention. You must be able to describe your clinical reasoning and use evidence based practice throughout the occupational therapy process (CPPF).

The examination will be a 2 hour exam covering integration of all learning outcomes. Format will be short and long answer questions. The questions will relate to all lectures, laboratories and discussed journal articles. The exam must be written in pen/ink (not pencil).

Pass requirements

l Students must complete and submit all assessments to pass the unit (i.e. both tests, the written assignment and the exam). Submission of a blank assignment does not constitute as 'completing’ an assessment.

l Students are required to achieve an overall unit grade of 50% or greater to pass the unit. In addition, students must achieve 40% or greater in the examination to pass this unit.

l A student who fails the same unit twice may be terminated from the course.

Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.

1. All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline. 2. Students will be penalised by a deduction of ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission

(e.g. a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assessment worth 20 marks will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and given a mark of 16/20, the student would receive 10/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked and will receive a mark of 0.

Assessment extension

A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (e.g. examinations, tests) or due date/time (e.g. assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form (available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.

The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.

l Applications for extension should be submitted to the administrative contact, Kerrylyn Johnston: [email protected].

l If the circumstances for your extension application are likely to impact on multiple units, please contact the course coordinator.

Deferred assessments

Supplementary assessments

Supplementary assessments are not available in this unit.

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating) Any conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work is considered to be academic misconduct. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offences that will be investigated and may result in penalties such as reduced or zero grades, annulled units or even termination from the course. Assessments under investigation will not be given a mark until the matter is concluded. This may result in the unit grade being withheld or a grade of Fail Incomplete (F-IN) until a decision has been made by the Student Disciplinary Panel. This may impact on enrolment in further units/study periods.

Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing. Submitting work which has been produced by someone else (e.g. allowing or contracting another person to do the work for which you claim authorship) is also plagiarism. Submitted work is subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of text matching systems or interviews with students to determine authorship.

Cheating includes (but is not limited to) asking or paying someone to complete an assessment task for you or any use of unauthorised materials or assistance during an examination or test.

From Semester 1, 2016, all incoming coursework students are required to complete Curtin’s Academic Integrity Program (AIP). If a student does not pass the program by the end of their first study period of enrolment at Curtin, their marks will be withheld until they pass. More information about the AIP can be found at: https://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/AIP.cfm

Refer to the Academic Integrity tab in Blackboard or academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au for more information, including student guidelines for avoiding plagiarism.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Expectations Curtin students are expected to have reliable internet access in order to connect to OASIS email and learning systems such as Blackboard and Library Services.

You may also require a computer or mobile device for preparing and submitting your work.

Recent unit changes Students are encouraged to provide unit feedback through eVALUate, Curtin's online student feedback system. For more information about eVALUate, please refer to evaluate.curtin.edu.au/info/.

Recent changes to this unit include:

l Overall flow of the unit: An overall review of the unit flow resulted in the movement of a number of key topics to facilitate learning of key concepts, including occupation-centred and family-centred practice. 

l Increased active learning: A number of practical, case-study based activities have been added to the labs to enhance learning. Students reported that they felt they benefited from the hands-on activities, and would have liked more of this. 

l Tests: Both will be 20 minutes long, based on feedback from students that the time for the first test was too short (15mins).

l Written assignment: There will now be 2 weeks between viewings of the observation DVD for this assignment, as students reported having the viewings 1 week apart did not allow them to apply their learning. In addition, this will mean that there will not be a test and a viewing of the DVD in the same week, which students reported they found quite overwhelming. The written assignment has not been split into two parts at this stage, as this requires changes to the overall number of assignments to the unit - this is currently undergoing review.

l Exam: Students asked for more guidance on this. A lab activity has been added in which students will get the opportunity to practice readings case studies, similar to the exam format.

l Lab activities: Each lab will start with an experiential activity. These were trialled in 2016 and students provided very positive feedback about these and reported that they supported their learning experience. These activities serve 2 purposes: They support the students to understand the concepts related to the sensory-based frame of reference, and activities that might support students' getting into an optimal zone of attention and arousal, and 2) They have been linked to core concepts taught in the lecture that week, supporting different learning styles.

l Mini-quizes: In most labs, students will engage in a 10 minute quiz facilitated by the tutor, that will draw their attention to important concepts and facilitate learning around important topics. They will also encourage viewing of the lecture before class. These quizes do not contribute towards the students' grade. These mini quizes were trialled one lab last year, and the students reported very positive feedback.
